So most people take five grams of creatine.

Of course, if you weigh twice as much, it might be twice that dosage.

I think before we get into any of this, if people want hyper-personalized guidance, seek out a quality registered clinical nutritionist.

And for me, that's just a no-brainer.

I'm going to come back to things I think are safe bets and logical.

But if you're going to be taking supplements for the next 40 years,

isn't a consultation with a professional probably worth it?

And I just think it is because there are nuances.

When we move into what's called either mega doses or therapeutic dosages of supplements, why would you do that without knowing where you're starting from and what you need?

And that's a real challenge that I'll walk into a mainstream health food store and there'll be a thousand supplements all at extraordinary high dosages without me ever working out what it is I need

not which label suggests it talks most closely to the problem I walked in with.

I'll caveat that.

So dosages, when we think of a supplement, first thing is, how big am I compared to the dosages that were evidenced in trial?

Then I've got the next question.

If I take it in, how much of the actual ingredient was in there, right?

There's a great debate.

It was triggered enormously by James Smith.

the broadcaster who went to town on creatine gummies, because there was no creatine in the gummies he was buying.

So we got this question about efficacy, which is, A, what's the recommended dosage?

B, how should that be for my size?
